datapath: Make the datapath responsible for choosing port numbers.
Soon we will allow for multiple datapath implementations. By allowing the datapath to choose the port numbers, we possibly simplify some datapath implementations, and the datapath's clients don't have to guess (or to check) what port numbers are free, so this seems like a better way to go.

@@ -70,11 +70,6 @@ A \fInetdev\fR may be followed by a comma-separated list of options.
The following options are currently supported:
.RS
-.IP "\fBport=\fIportno\fR"
-Specifies \fIportno\fR (a number between 1 and 255) as the port number
-at which \fInetdev\fR will be attached. By default, \fBadd\-if\fR
-automatically selects the lowest available port number.
-
.IP "\fBinternal\fR"
Instead of attaching an existing \fInetdev\fR, creates an internal
port (analogous to the local port) with that name.
